ONCE UPON A MIDNIGHT DREARY

Crow Flying from Jay Stelling on Vimeo.

I spent all day working on this, just trying to get the basic elements in place and moving the way I want them to. Even working with my storyboard so I knew where each asset should be in each frame, it took a very long time and I'm not even finished.
So glad I did make a storyboard because I dread to think how long it would have taken without this kind of planning.
Youtube tutorials are so nerdy but brilliant, thank you for solving my many idiotJaymoments.
Majorly happy with the soundtrack, it's just like a film and I think it's appropriate for the tone of my author.
Not sure how well the printed textures transfer to on-screen. They just look a bit messy and random since they're all different directions, overwhelming with them moving too! Feel a bit motion sick.

The crow looks so rough and basically like a flying fish. He needs sorting out but at least it's a placeholder for now so I know where it will be and how it will move.

I'm proud because this is the first proper animation I've made but I just feel that it could be 1000x more immersive, unique and spooky with a 3-Dimensional set and puppets. (forever pining for puppets)
